Yevgeny Prigozhin, the former head of the exiled mercenary group Wagner, has reportedly sought refuge in a secure hotel room in Minsk, Belarus, in order to safeguard himself from potential assassination attempts.
Prigozhin, who fled Russia after his failed coup against President Vladimir Putin and Moscow, has allegedly chosen a windowless accommodation to prevent any suspicious accidents involving defenestration, a method attributed to Putin when dealing with disloyal individuals.
Insiders familiar with United States intelligence sources reveal that Prigozhin deliberately selected a hotel in Minsk without windows to minimize the risk of a tragic fall.
Senator Mark Walker commented on the matter, stating, “That would show what his mindset is.”
The senator, who chairs the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee, acknowledged that various Russian figures had mysteriously met their demise by falling out of windows on higher floors after crossing paths with Putin.
On Saturday, as previously reported by TheFederalistPapers.org, Prigozhin and his 25,000-strong Wagner Private Military Company managed to seize control of two Russian cities before attempting to march on Moscow.
However, clashes erupted between Prigozhin’s mercenaries and the Russian military, resulting in the reported deaths of 15 Russian airmen.
Ultimately, Prigozhin yielded to pressure and ceased his rebellion following the intervention of Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko, who acted on Putin’s behalf.
To secure amnesty in Minsk and halt the Moscow insurgency, Prigozhin accepted Lukashenko’s offer.
He arrived in the Belarusian capital on Monday morning, relieved to have preserved his life but having lost control of the Wagner Group.
In the aftermath of the failed coup and considering Putin’s treatment of those perceived as traitors, sources familiar with the situation have issued warnings to Prigozhin regarding his safety.
British MP Tobias Ellwood cautioned, “If I was him, I would be very careful what I ate and where I went. Putin mops up any dissenting voices himself—he will be plotting.”
Former CIA Director David Petraeus echoed the sentiment, urging Prigozhin to exercise caution near open windows in his new surroundings.
Prigozhin released a statement on Monday night, asserting that the intent behind Saturday’s rebellion was not to overthrow Russia’s leadership.
“We didn’t march to overthrow Russia’s leadership,” clarified the former Wagner chief. “The aim of the march was to avoid the destruction of Wagner and to hold accountable those officials whose unprofessional actions have led to a multitude of grave errors.”
As Prigozhin finds refuge in a windowless sanctuary in Belarus, the lingering question remains: Will he evade the clutches of Putin’s retribution, or will history repeat itself, adding his name to the list of those who have fallen from grace?
